Taxiing is defined as when the aircraft is moving.

• A. When the aircraft is moving
• B. When the aircraft is parked
• C. During takeoff
• D. During flight

Answer: (A)

Taxiing means the aircraft moving on the ground under its own power, typically on taxiways and runways between the gate and the runway. It’s the phase where the airplane is still on the surface, either heading to the runway for takeoff or moving to a parking area after landing. This makes the best option the one that states “when the aircraft is moving,” because taxiing is all about ground movement, not being parked, taking off, or flying. The other options describe stationary status, the takeoff event, or flight, which are not taxiing.
